Description: Damien has lived his life as a weapon. A single father forged in violence, carved by scars, and haunted by the rage that kept him alive. When his past finally catches up, he does the only thing he knows: he runs. He abandons Mallory and his daughter because in his own fear, he believes he is dangerous, unworthy, and incapable of being loved.
Mallory is left shattered all over again. The man who claimed her pieces, who swore he would protect her has vanished into the darkness he swore he'd fight and now she's desperate. She's desperate to have him back. Desperate to believe that the violent man she loves isn't someone to fear. But desperation cuts both ways. Can she trust him to be the man he said he was? Can she believe in a love that abandoned her when she needed it most? Mallory becomes determined to give him her pieces. The fragments of her own broken heart to prove that together they can be whole. Damien doesn't just carry scars. He carries secrets sharp enough to cut anyone who gets close and Mallory isn't sure if her love will save him... or destroy her completely. He gave his soul away once and was left with nothing but rage. Now he has only pieces left and she's desperate enough to take them all, even if it means breaking herself and defying a world
